GURPS Loadouts: Low-Tech Armor
W23!

Gird for Battle in Any Era

For as long as mankind has engaged in violence, we have sought ways to make the sticks, stones, and swords hurt just a little less. GURPS Low-Tech and GURPS Low-Tech: Instant Armor provide the bits and pieces needed to customize your defenses . . . but when you care about historical accuracy, want a proven combination of defensive gear, or are simply short on time, GURPS Loadouts: Low-Tech Armor has you covered.

Take advantage of new gear, including rhinoceros-hide armor, pectorals, Roman "scale mail," Japanese face protection, padded jacks, and a wide range of shields and horse barding.

Add detail to your battles with expanded hit location tables for the face and abdomen, rules for the restrictive effects of rigid leg and neck armor, new options for arming doublets, and more.

Learn how the cultures discussed actually fought: the attacks they expected to face, the types of warriors on the field of battle, and the intent behind their choice of protection.

Whether you're playing a historical game or one of pure fantasy, GURPS Loadouts: Low-Tech Armor makes equipping your hero a snap -- and helps the GM quickly armor hordes of nameless NPC warriors -- all in a realistic and believable way. Spend less time poring over equipment lists and more time using that gear to prove your mettle on the battlefield!
